NEW YORK—Broadway will get a little magic this holiday season. Now You See Me Live, the stage illusion spectacular inspired by Lionsgate’s hit film franchise, will make its New York debut at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
The limited eight-week engagement begins Wednesday, November 11. Performances continue through Sunday, January 3, 2027.
The Four Horsemen come to Broadway
Now You See Me Live takes inspiration from the popular Now You See Me movies and their team of master illusionists known as the Four Horsemen.
For Broadway, the Horsemen will include South African escapologist Gabriella Lester, British illusionist James More, Canadian illusionist Darcy Oake and British mentalist Matthew Pomeroy.
Together, they bring an international mix of magic, escapes, mentalism and large-scale illusions to the stage.
From the movies to live theater
Producers Tim Lawson and Simon Painter, the team behind The Illusionists, present the production in collaboration with Lionsgate.
Moreover, the Broadway run follows engagements in Australia, Singapore and London. The production will also play Las Vegas this fall as part of its ongoing global tour.
The creative team includes Painter and Adam Trent as co-creators. Ash Jacks McCready serves as creative director and staging director, while Kirsty White serves as creative director. Enzo Wenye directs the illusions.
Now You See Me Live plays the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, 302 W. 45th Street, New York City.
